MS Chemical Exposure

Multiple Sclerosis (commonly referred to as
MS), is a
chronic immune disease that affects the brain, spine, and central nervous system. The disease
attacks the body’s myelin, which is a fatty tissue that is supposed
to protect the nerves and improve the rate of nerve transmission throughout the body.

Medical experts are not sure of the exact cause of MS, but studies indicate
that it is most likely caused by genetic mutations that are inherited.
People who have MS often experience symptoms that are triggered by the
environment, including work conditions involving dangerous chemicals.

Symptoms and Treatment Options for MS:

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic disease that can have symptoms ranging
from mild to severe.

Some symptoms of MS can include:

Tingling sensation

Numbness

Eye pain or vision loss

Change personality

Paralysis

Loss of strength in limbs

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should consult a doctor
immediately to determine if you have MS. Physicians can use a diagnosis
of exclusion to help determine whether a patient has MS.

Treatment options can include therapy and physical training to assist patients
in retraining their muscles and alleviating pain caused by the disease.
